Warfare 05/07/06

Eric Bischoff ensured that the eyes of the whole world will be on Xtreme Overload with his announcement that War Games is to return at the show. He confirmed that Team Orton would take on Jay Reso, Chris Kanyon and Kurt Angle and a partner of their choice at XO in a Double Cage War Games match...and Reso caused Team Orton more consternation later in the evening when he chose Shawn Michaels as the 4th memebr of his team, but Reso and HBK lost in the main event to Orton & Lashley when AMW interfered.

We also found out that Matthew Mercy will take on The Undertaker at XO. Mercy defeated Phil Jackson and then called out the 'Taker once again. The 'Taker obliged and the two had a stare down before Mercy uttered the words "see you at Overload" before walking off.
